TX mentioned something about Typo blogs being able to authenticate each other in server mode. This is a great idea, but I'm more interested in developing OpenID stuff that speaks to *any* OpenID service. Imagine, for example, if you only wanted to let your friends comment on your blog, or friends of friends, or whatever. This is easily accomplished with FOAF and OpenID, or a custom whitelist solution. When someone tries to leave a comment on the blog, you'll know who they are and you can choose any algorithm you'd like to see if they can post. Simple OpenID authed comments are a step in this direction.
Thanks, Brian
ps - Any hints as to why my form_remote_tag 302 handler does not work under IE6?!

That'd be really, deeply cool. I've wanted this for months, but I've
kind of failed to implement it. There's one thing to watch out for--
it'll be really easy to deadlock on single-thread servers, like
webrick or fastcgi with 1 process.
